Story summary

Bunnie Xo, 46, defended her relationship with Dylan Wolf, 24, after facing backlash on social media for their age gap and public outing at Waffle House in Nashville, Tennessee. The former escort shared a video of them together at the restaurant, captioning it as if it were his first time there. Fans criticized the couple's significant age difference and Bunnie responded to critics by saying she was simply enjoying herself and that Wolf had “given her smile back.” She has previously defended such relationships on podcasts, stating that her ex-husband took no issue with her dating younger men. The pair first made headlines in July when they were seen kissing at Goodnight Nashville, a bar owned by Jelly Roll (her ex-husband). Despite the criticism, Bunnie maintains she is living her best life and continues to share content with fans without addressing each individual comment directly.
